DREAM SIGNINGS: Will any of the Premier League big boys be able to secure their dream signing in January? [-]

Arsenal: Mats Hummels - Arsene Wenger is understood to be keeping tabs on the Borussia Dortmund centre-back and has been linked with a January swoop for his services. Arsenal are in desperate need of defensive reinforcements and Gunners fans will be hoping Wenger can lure a player of Hummels' qualities to the Emirates.

Aston Villa: Saido Berahino - Villa have found it tough going during the opening months of the season. A lack of goals is the problem for Paul Lambert and his side. Despite the return of Christian Benteke from injury, Villa have failed to find the back of the net on a regular basis. A new striker will be on the minds of the Villa faithful and in-form West Brom forward Saido Berahino would certainly fit the bill.

Burnley: Steven Fletcher - The Clarets have also found goals hard to come by on their return to the Premier League. Danny Ings has only scored four times this season, while fellow forward Ashley Barnes has netted on three occasions. Sean Dyche will know his side need a prolific goalscorer and former Burnley hero Fletcher would tick the box.

Chelsea: Lionel Messi - The Argentina superstar is currently in a huge wrangle over an improved contract with Barcelona. Reports suggest the forward is the closest he has even been to leaving the club. However Blues boss Jose Mourinho would need to convince owner Roman Abramovich to stump up at least £200m to have any chance of luring the 27-year-old to Stamford Bridge.

Crystal Palace: Michu - Neil Warnock loves his strikers. And he is in need of reinforcements in that area after loan signing Kevin Doyle returned to parent club Wolves due to injury. Swansea's Spain ace Michu, currently on-loan at Napoli, has been linked with a January switch to Selhurst Park and would certainly bolster Warnock's forward options.

Everton: Wayne Rooney - Once A Blue Always A Blue! Wayne Rooney will always be a Everton fan. But he has become a Manchester United legend since leaving Goodison Park in 2004. Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright last month left the door open for Rooney to return to his boyhood club one day. And manager Roberto Martinez would surely love to have the England captain at his disposal.

Hull: Jordan Rhodes - The Tigers failed with a £12m move for the Blackburn goal machine during the summer. Steve Bruce's side are in need of goals and the Hull boss would love nothing more than to have Rhodes at his disposal for the second-half of the season. Blackburn, however, will once again demand big money for their star man.

ALWAYS A BLUE: Will Wayne Rooney make a sensational return to Everton? [-]

Leicester: Troy Deeney - Nigel Pearson is eyeing January reinforcements with the Foxes intrenched in the relegation mire. Watford hitman Deeney, who has scored nine times so far this season, is thought to be on his wish list and would provide him with an alternative forward option.

Liverpool: Luis Suarez - Brendan Rodgers has seen his side go from title contenders to mid-table mediocrity in the space of six months. The Reds have failed to adapt to life after Suarez following his £75m summer defection to Barcelona. But a sensational return to Anfield for Suarez will be certainly be on every Liverpool fan's wish list.

Manchester City: Arturo Vidal - Manuel Pellegrini has reportedly put the Juventus midfielder at the top of his January wish list. Vidal, who was major summer target for rivals United, has previously spoken of his desire to remain at Juve. But a big money offer from City could tempt him to make the move.

Manchester United: Cristiano Ronaldo - Louis van Gaal spent over £150m in the summer overhauling his squad. He smashed the British transfer record to sign Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for £59.7m. United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has promised the Dutchman more funds and the Old Trafford faithful will most certainly be dreaming of Ronaldo's second coming.

Newcastle: Yohan Cabaye - Reports suggest Cabaye wants to complete a move back to the Premier League. The France midfielder has struggled to hold down a regular first-team spot at PSG. Surely Magpies boss Alan Pardew would be able to find a place for Cabaye at St James' Park.

QPR: Jermain Defoe - Harry Redknapp has made it clear - QPR need a striker. Redknapp and the R's have been heavily reliant on the goals of Charlie Austin. But with reports suggesting that Defoe wants out of Toronto and is keen on a move back to England, Redknapp could link up with the forward for the FOURTH time. Defoe, who has worked with Redknapp at West Ham, Portsmouth and Tottenham, would provide the firepower QPR desperately crave.

CITY BOY: Could Arturo Vidal be playing in the blue of Manchester City next year? [-]

Southampton: Wesley Sneijder - Ronald Koeman has enjoyed a superb opening four months in the Premier League and his Saints continue to fly high. However he has spoken of his need to add even more quality to his impressive side. Sneijder wants out of Galatasaray and is keen on a move to England. Gala are willing to accept a cut-price £9m for the Netherlands international, who would represent a massive coup for Koeman and the Saints if they can get him to St Mary's.

Stoke: James Milner - Mark Hughes showed in the summer he has the powers of persuasion by luring Barcelona star Bojan to the Britannia Stadium. And with Milner's contract set to expire at the end of the season, Hughes could put his powers to the test by launching an ambitious bid to sign Milner.

Sunderland: Fabio Borini - Gus Poyet has made no secret of his desire to bring the Italian forward back to the Stadium of Light. Borini scored 10 times last season, helping the Black Cats complete the great escape. Poyet's men are struggling for goals once again and the return of Borini would be a major boost in their attempts to avoid another scrap against relegation.

Swansea: Scott Sinclair - The winger lit up the Liberty Stadium during a sensational two years in south Wales. Sinclair scored 27 times for the Swans in their 2011 Premier League promotion winning season. He helped them retain their top-flight status a year later - but left in the summer of 2012 for champions Manchester City. Sinclair has failed to establish himself at the Etihad and a return to the high-flying Swans could give his career the kiss of life.

Tottenham: Gareth Bale - Spurs have never been the same since the world record departure of Bale to Real Madrid. They pocketed £85m, but the new arrivals brought in to fill the void have struggled. Bale put Spurs into title contention, something which the club's supporters could only dream of now.

West Brom: Andros Townsend - Alan Irvine needs to add more pace to his struggling side. And Tottenham's Townsend could be just the man to do that. The pacey England winger's future at White Hart Lane is uncertain under new boss Mauricio Pochettino and has been linked with a switch to Southampton. But Irvine may try his luck at making Townsend a Baggie.

West Ham: Alex Song - The Hammers are flying high and Barcelona loan star Alex Song has been a major factor in their sensational opening to the season. Barca want £15m for the midfielder and on his present form, Sam Allardyce will be hoping owners David Gold and David Suillivan stump up the cash to keep him at Upton Park.
